[Verse 1]
        E                         
I been swinging this hammer for a 
A      E
mighty long time
E                          A     
What I wouldn't give for a nickel
       E
 and a dime
      E                          
I was up there in the hills where 
     A       E
the colored bands run
E                             
Fanning 'cross the mountain and 
    A              E
a-shining in the sun
  A                             
I came across a mountain, it was 
 D       A
leaning tall
E                          A     
One wrong look and she was bound 
   E
to fall
      A                       
But I couldn't resist where my 
 D       A
fortune lie
        B7
Now I'm bound to get rich if I keep 
from dyin'


[Chorus]
        E
Well, I keep on chipping and 
a-chipping away
          A
There's a little more gold left here
 today
E                                 
All I gotta do is just pull it 
            F#    B
right from the ground
E
Every time I take a little piece I 
know
    A
I'm toeing the line with thе ol' 
pick hoe
    E                    B7       
And sooner or later this wholе 
             E
thing is coming down

[Verse 2]
        E                          
Well, I heard a little crack, heard
   A         E
 a creak and moan
E                           A    
Sounded like thunder and it shook
           E
 me to the bone
E                     A       E
Just got a little bit more to go
E                            A   
Ten thousand dollars and I'm 
        E
headed back home
  A                          D     
I finally had my fill, I was on my 
A
way
         E                         
And that mountain started falling 
    A         E
as I ran and I prayed
A                           D
Lord, if you let me make it out 
    A
alive
           B7
I'll never chase another poke for my
 whole damn life


[Chorus]
        E
Well, I keep on chipping and 
a-chipping away
          A
There's a little more gold left here
 today
E                                 
All I gotta do is just pull it 
            F#    B
right from the ground
E
Every time I take a little piece I 
know
    A
I'm toeing the line with thе ol' 
pick hoe
    E                    B7       
And sooner or later this wholе 
             E
thing is coming down
        E
Well, I keep on chipping and 
a-chipping away
          A
There's a little more gold left here
 today
E
